Q: “Are any of the prohormone products good additions to a steroid cycle?” A: There’s no real reason to add any of them to a properly designed cycle using the standard pharmaceutical anabolic steroids, by which I mean the compounds developed and brought to market by pharmaceutical companies. None of them have any positive qualities […]

Q: “I’m a middle-aged lifter seriously considering starting cycling. With the last 10 years straight being consistent and I think good quality training, and many years before that being off-and-on, more of the same isn’t likely to add much more for me. I’m a lot more interested in what the guys were doing in the […]

I am 42-years old and currently on 100-milligrams of testosterone enanthate per week as part of a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) prescribed by my doctor. I plan on remaining on TRT indefinitely. But I’d like to have a little boost. I am currently 220-lbs but my goal is to return my physique to my younger days when I was a lean 245-lbs.

Effectiveness milligram per milligram: One way is, having the rest of a stack already, and wanting to add X mg of boldenone, or the same mg of Masteron. To some extent it would depend […]

Do anabolic steroids cause kidney damage? A few years ago, the New York Times had a story suggesting that steroids could have been responsible for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in a few IFBB pro bodybuilders. Bodybuilder Flex Wheeler had a kidney transplant. Bodybuilder Luke Wood died of complications from a kidney transplant. What role, if any, did steroids play?

Question: I am 18-years old. Can I safely do a cycle of anabolic steroids? Now I know most of you will say ‘you’re too young’ and ‘you should wait until you are over 21.’ I’ve read it all before but at the end of the day it’s my own personal choice. Many top pros started steroids in their teens and have had great success so why can’t I have great success if I start now? Please do not flame me. I am just trying to learn and have not and may not do steroids.

Bodybuilders talk about taking too much steroids and how there comes a point at which the androgen receptors become ‘overloaded’. For example, if one were to take 5 different steroid compounds all at high dosages, how much can your body actually use? I understand that everyone would be somewhat different but theremust be a point of diminishing returns?
